Curse

ok, hello to all first. ive been away from monk thread for a while, mainly cuz my monk had a huge headache from gw (too many ppl this days allways blame monks whenever something goes wrong, and yes i way in the monk stirke in THK).anyhow since my 55 died with my monk i didnt wrote to much.
but nowim BACK!.

to the matter in hand. yeti yeti yeti.
u start from Boreas seabed, get out to Pongmei Valley, cut to thr left, pass those nasty groups of Rot Wallow (55 work on them until they vamp bite for 65 dmg). if you will go left all the time you will see groups of yetis.
there are 2 kind, warriors and rit. and here is the tricky part and what nakes all the diff. Disrupting Chop.yeti as ettins use heal sig... u have to Disrupt that.in the 1st few times its tricky..after a while you will see there is a slight pause before they cast heal sig (they move thier hand in a wired way and stop attcking you for a sec or less.).
now the rewards. ive gotten a nice stack of major minors and 1 sup, also lots and lots of Crafting materials (steel, fur, tanned, hide,cloth, ), the real treat is Arrahhsh Moutainclub that has a chance of dropping Arrahhsh's Aegis. the boos is inside the cave,just pass the bridge near the water falls.
u can allways p.m if you have anything to ask. anyhow i guess some ppl allready know about this so i might get flame (there going to nerf it now etc).but i think we should all share.

That is a 55hp build. also it couldn't be done most likely with earth ele.

nice! thanks for sharing, i'll try it out myself, could you post a map? that way i could even be more easy for us to do!

Rogier · May 10, 2006, 04:39 PM // 16:39

how in gods name can you kill him? 1 second healing sig is hard to interrupt :/
i just can't pull it off

ibex333 · May 10, 2006, 04:40 PM // 16:40

I dont know how you do it kosh.. Disrupting chop is way too slow.
The boss casts heal sig so fast, that there is no way I can disrupt him.
I tried watching his hands like you said, but it's too fast. It's less than a sec, and disrupting chop has a wind up time...
Guess i have to look for some mesmer skill that disables signets.

Rogier · May 10, 2006, 04:43 PM // 16:43

which would mean you have to have 2 or 3 interrupt skills, cause i don't remember any skill that is able to disrupt and add time to recharge.. which you really need here

remmeh · May 10, 2006, 04:44 PM // 16:44

Ignorance or Complicate =P

kosh · May 10, 2006, 04:50 PM // 16:50

well ty all for replies. as i said..took me a while to catch wher to disrupt him. i guess its more instincts. mesmer skillz could do imo. dont tell any one but Ignorance FTW. with 2-3 points in dom magic u get 10 sec Ignorance and 10 sec cool down so constant Ignorance. i did it, prob alot easier. i do dis chop cuz i like my energy high and chop cost adr. they also blind you what makes dis chop alot harder to do. and that why i like it. il post map later on on.also with dis chop i can dis easy pain and shadow song that the yeti rit do, they dont hold much threat to you.but can be a pain to some waht when rit yeti do Consume Soul and heal themself for about 160, even a bigger pain if they are in a group and then it act as heal area. so il stick with my dis chop. xD

k thanks, i found it anyway but this maybe a bit more clear for some people, and i'll try to do a run again

Rogier · May 10, 2006, 07:14 PM // 19:14

i did it once, you need to interrupt both healing sigs in a row it's amazinly hard!

kosh · May 10, 2006, 07:23 PM // 19:23

yep both... or if i time it right... i dis when his on aobut 2/3 of hp and with some luck u get 1/2 time recharge with FFS on soj.so constant soj and his sig is disalbe for 20 sec.

Ignorance - Hex Spell
For 8-18 seconds, target foe cannot use "Signet" rings.

10 second refresh.

Rogier · May 10, 2006, 07:58 PM // 19:58

k ignorance FTW!!! then you'll succeed, only problem is that it costs a lot of energy!

Levi Garett · May 10, 2006, 09:40 PM // 21:40

EDIT: Yeah I was smoking crack working a three profession build

PS
HB
SoJ
Ignorance
EB
Blessed Aura
Mending
Bath's Spirit

This build works fine. I just skipped all the Yeti and went for the boss. Two rounds of SoJ and he dies. No green drop in 6 tries, but yeah it works.

It's 84 dmg at level 16 smite. This will negate a good portion of their signet healing. Don't forget the hex will last the full 30 seconds on the boss now (remember how much it sucked in prophecies to hex bosses?).

Now' let's try to speed up this build with more DPS:

SoJ is 21 secs (45 sec recharge) at 16 smite. With 20% enchantment grip/pommel it will last 21 x 1.20 = 25.2 seconds (W/O blessed Aura)

Now let's throw Arcane Echo in this build to keep SoJ up longer:

PS
HB
Arcane Echo
SoJ
Bonetti's Defense
Scourge Healing
Mending
Bath's Spirit

Now with Bonetti's you have endless mana to feed all these high cost Energy Spells. You should be able to cast Arcane Echo, SoJ, SoJ(the Echo'd one), and then SoJ (the original one) and SoJ should be up for over 60 seconds. Don't forget Arcane Echo only mimics the spell for 20 seconds, so you'll need to cast the echo'd SoJ BEFORE the first SoJ's duration is completed (IE don't wait for the first SoJ to start blinking).

I have no idea if this will work or not on these specific monsters, but it might be worth a shot...Good Luck!

wow im getting old and slow.

not to flame you or anyhting like, as a matter of fact the build look nice, only 1 prob: are you a monk/mesmer/warrior?

i see Arcane Echo,Bonetti's, and ps and hb... triple combo FTW. xD

ibex333 · May 11, 2006, 03:42 AM // 03:42

wow... you guys already figured it out!

Ignorance works like a charm.

Thank you kosh, and everyone else.
